emcp

# emcp **Give any AI agent hands.** A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in pure C99 — zero dependencies, one library, runs on a $5 microcontroller or any Linux board. > **Status:** pre-alpha. JSON parser in progress. Spec pinned to `2025-06-18`. ## Why Every AI agent speaks MCP. Almost no hardware does — what exists is vendor-locked or tied to a specific broker. emcp is the portable answer: pure C99, zero dependencies, kilobytes of RAM, no malloc, with safety levels for tools that touch physical hardware. ## Roadmap | Area | Status | | --- | --- | | JSON parser (`mcp_json.c`) | in progress | | Transport: HTTP / serial / MQTT | planned | | Boards: ESP32, Pico W, Linux | Linux host now | | Allocation: dynamic / static | static-first | | Tool safety levels | designed | Build & test: `make test` (ASan + UBSan).
